Ali Hewson, Board Member, Chernobyl Children's Project International joined over 50 student Gardai from the Garda College Templemore to abseil down the Elysian on Saturday 30th May to raise funds for a 'Home of Hope' for Olga and Kristina. The Elysian is the tallest building in Ireland and stands at an impressive 83 metres and 17 storeys high. Ali Hewson said 'Student Gardai organised this abseil to raise funds so that Olga and Kristina who came to Ireland unable to walk, can return to Belarus and walk into a real home - a 'Home of Hope. If a lot of people can give a little it can mean so much'.

Olga and Kristina, two young girls from the heart of the Chernobyl region are in Ireland for critical surgery and joined Ali and the Gardai over the weekend to make the event a success. Both girls have spent their young lives living in an orphanage, but now with your help we are hoping to raise over €100,000 to go towards our 'Home of Hope' Projects.

Please sign up today to be a Regular Giver or make a one-off donation to help build new foster homes, each with space for 10 children, so that children like Kristina and her best friend Olga when they return home can be moved from the orphanage into a loving home environment. With your help they will receive the love and support of a family....something they truly deserve.
